Notes

Light summer sweater. I LOVE this sweater! Stunning color, super soft and very light!

Using instructions for size M to get S out of it.
Got 2 skeins of Malabrigo Sock, crossing my fingers that it will be enough yarn! But I won’t do the fluffy sleeves, so I’m positive. And it worked! :)

My mods include:

  • Using sock yarn instead of aran; therefore following size M instructions to get size S.
  • Tweaking with the raglan decreases. The armhole depth would have been insufficient because of my gauge of 30rows/10cm; so I decided not to decrease on every fourth RS row, adding 12 rows to the raglan length.
  • Adding another pattern repeat in the front to make the sweater a little bit longer than stated in the pattern.
  • I did not follow the instructions for the “fluffy sleeves”; measured myself and knitted more fitting sleeves instead.
  • And I did i-cord bind off instead of neck extensions; after seaming I picked up stitches around the back neck and then immediately used i-cord bo made from three extra stitches.
